Whats up for the day.

On this witchy day... On my desk.. If I could get to it is the new stencil that my Daughter Tera made for me. It has a great crow on it that I love and my new witch girl.

You can also see that Sam is camping out on my desk.. like always.  It makes thing interesting some times to say the least.

Ok This is my art Journal thingy.. like that .. thingy.   Any way this is the one I am working on for this month.  Green is not my color but I do like it.   ( Art journal calendar ). It  is just another page in my composition notebook .   Some day I will have to do a flip though of it.  That seems to be all the rage right now is showing them.

 

I hope this finds every one having a great day!!!!  We have been working on the roof and now time to take a break..  going to cook out on the grill... yea   I'm all for that.  Plus the hubby dose it.  lol

 Bright blessing to you and yours.

ATC .. New stamps from Lost Coast Designs

New ATC..  yea,  its been a little bit of time since I have made them. This ATC was made for the May ATC Challenge for Lost Coast.  I have been into so many things lately that I can't decide what I like doing best.  Art Journaling seems to be a big thing.. I love the painting part. Stamping would come in next..  so many stamps.. what to pick.
  Soooo on this ATC I have used 2 different green paints and just used an old room key card to spread the paint.  White paint  through the Punchinello.  The Spider Web stamp is on top of that and is from Lost Coast Designs and so is this Awesome cat that I love. The cat I stamped on card stock then just cut out and glued it on.  I have some great new Lost Coast Design stamps that I will be posting later .   Hope you enjoy and as always bright blessing to you and yours. 

A Big Happy Birthday to My Daughter Tera.

 

Skulls skulls and more skulls. Crystal Skulls.

The earth is in a period of transition and , since humans tend to fear the unknown and change in general, it seems the skulls are really needed here at this time. Or is it just getting popular?  I truly believe popularity  is why there seems to be a growing interest and demand for them.  Don't know what I'm talking about... crystal skulls.  Why would a crystal skull be any different than a crystal of any other shape.. a butterfly or a heart or just its own shape.  ummm?  I have just gotten a book called Crystal Skulls , emissaries of healing and sacred wisdom by Marion  Webb-De Sisto.  I am very interested in what it has to say. I do know that the largest growing part seems to be in the United Kingdom. Revenia says  that the skulls are needed by people  as a way of helping them "cope with the various stresses and changes in our world that affect us all to some degree." I'm interested why she thinks that and again dose it have to be skulls?  I would live to hear what your thoughts are on this.



    
    I do a lot of Art Journaling and this has even become super big in this area.


 
 
I have found a ton of different kind on the net.. like everything you could think of.  Here is a few photos that I found even.

 

 I even found this group meeting from 2011  of these 3 woman.

    Here is their link ,  but I don't see anything added on to it from my side. http://www.coasttocoastam.com/photo/view/crystal_skullgetogether/50390

 

 

On that note and with a few photos Im going to sign off for the day.. Getting chilly here and I need to get some heat on or get up and move.  lol   

As always... Bright Blessing to you and your.

New BOS sheets almost done.

This is  what I have been working on.. yea me.. getting stuff done. I guess it helps here in Ohio when the weather starts cooling down and my brain can work and think better.. lol   Well so sure about that think part, but sounds good to me at the moment.  

 

This sheet I just love!!! it is super dark and wish I could copy them.. but it just doesn't work that way.

This one was soaked for a few days in heavy coffee and a cinnamon tea mix.

 

 Now this pile are all just a little different , but yet the same. you can kinda tell if you look at the bottom. should have taken more photos. These are just tacked down for the moment till I am sure this is how I want them.  Any Ideas. ( stamped out and then cut in to the shapes I want or the part that I want to use. Then tacked down on the paper )

 Another really nice dark one.. I love the dark staining lines. This one was stamped , then masked off the front part and stamped the window onto the back.. pretty cool isn't it.  My daughters doing.  Got to love it.. then soaked in the staining mix.

 

This one.. just different.. It is stamped and ready for staining. I think it will make a great love or friendship page.. or future spell page since I do have a crystal ball on it too.  This one will be fun to color.

 

Well that's it for today.. I hope you get some ideas to get you started on a new page in your book.  Remember you can do anything..  paint, stamp, stain, color.  You do not have to make your pages look like old book sheets you see on tv shows.. yes I know it makes them look cool... just think in time they will be cool no matter what.   Heres a tip/hit cut out newspaper dates or adds and clue on to your sheet for the date, its  a nice little touh.





Just a thought for the day.

 This is a thought.. just a thought.. but look how true it is.
You are a unique and magnificent human being.. Of all the billions of people on this earth there is not another you and your very existence is vital to thing functioning., Because you are a part of this earth.  All that you see, and all that you do and all that there is, could not exist with out you!!!

Ok on that note.. did you know that.......
 OM    means Enlightened Body
 AH     means Enlightened Speech
 HUNG   means Enlightened Mind
 HO      means Enlightened Activity.

 Boy I'm just full of it today aren't I.  lol  Its a dull and rainy day out and I need to get my mind in the right mind set or I will just waist the day away and I don't want that.  So think on the positive side of things today.. the weather dose have a lot to do with people and how they feel and the shortening of the days only make these feeling stronger. I know personally I need to have the nice bright sunshine or I feel cleome as they say and its hard for me to shake. So light that positive candle.. burn some sage and put on a big smile...
 Love and light and bright blessing to you  and yours.

September 24 th Osiris

Who is Osiris.... ?

Osiris (Egyptian) Great God and Isis's partner, father of Horus. He sacrificed himself so that life could regenerate.  We always hear about Isis but not much about him. Well September 24 is sacred to Osiris for death and rebirth.   Great day to do a sheet in your BOS about him.

Mystery of the wheel Lummas and Mabon

In myth, the Goddess sees with sadness that the strength of the Sun God is fading, but it lives on inside her as her child.  The fruits of our labor are celebrated and enjoyed from out gardens.  A time to look back and celebrate successes and   achievements of the past year.  In cutting the corn the seed is gathered in and ensuring a new life.

Corn and wheat, a large scythe, daisies for joy and success, grapes for opulence, loaves of beautiful breads to represent new creations formed from raw material and ideas and labor.
